Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 534 Exchange and Awakening

Finally found!
"Ling Yuzi, I'll leave Bell to you for now."

"Ah."

Xin Lailai looked at the prompt at the edge of his vision, and without any hesitation, he immediately switched back to his body. After throwing Bell Crany, whose injuries had stabilized, to Ling Yuzi's care, he moved his mind and controlled the Dark Steel Mech to move at full speed towards the location marked on the map.

Peng——! !

A dark blue flame swept across the empty wilderness, leaving an extremely eye-catching and brilliant flame tail. After a while, several small buildings closely packed together appeared on the screen.

Finally, Xin Lailai controlled the Dark Steel Mech to stop steadily in front of the camp store, then jumped out of the driver alone and landed accurately in front of the counter of the camp store that looked the most impressive:
[Welcome to the camp store. This camp store is hosted by the Sanctuary Paradise. Please choose the items you want to redeem.]

Sure enough! The faction shops in the dungeon were all refreshed by Paradise the moment the dungeon space left the world of the Earthly Wrong! !

Xin Lailai looked at the dazzling array of goods in front of him, a hint of intense excitement revealed in his dark pupils. Without any hesitation, he immediately selected all the goods related to the output of the World Tree, soul crystals, and divine bones, and then pressed the confirmation button.

[Reminder: Exchange successful, paid Orario camp reputation*3444000, obtained the following items]

……

...

...

Soul Crystal (Small)*5000
……

A full 344.4w reputation evaporated in an instant, and then Xin Lailai walked directly to the next camp store without any hesitation, and continued to select the output of the World Tree and exchange it for soul crystals.

Thanks to the Abyss derivatives that were refreshing like crazy in the dungeon, their reputation value had already reached the upper limit of reputation that could be obtained under normal circumstances a few days ago. Even if the dungeon space had not been out of the jurisdiction of the paradise, making it impossible to unlock their reputation limit, based on the number of Abyss creatures they killed in the past few days, this reputation value would probably have doubled again.

——Of course, on the other hand, if the Dicuo world was still within the jurisdiction of the Sanctuary Paradise, they would not have the opportunity to gain so much reputation.

[Reminder: Exchange successful, payment has been made to the Orario camp...]

[Reminder: Exchange successful, payment has been made to the Orario camp...]

...

...

[Reminder: Exchange successful, 4200 reputation of the Orario camp has been paid, and the following items have been obtained]

……

Five prompt sounds were heard in succession, and the reputation value on Xin Lailai's reputation panel suddenly decreased by 621600 points, while a batch of soul crystals and world tree outputs appeared in his storage space again.

In this way, all the materials that need to be exchanged can be obtained.
Xin Lailai looked at the items in the storage space, nodded slightly, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. In fact, the most valuable items in this batch were the four World Tree Fruits, and even these four fruits alone accounted for more than half of what he had just spent.

As for why the World Tree Fruit has such value, you can understand it by just looking at its effects:
……

【World Tree Fruit】

Origin: Any world with a mature world tree

Quality: world class
Category: World Class Items/Precious Items/Rare Materials

Effect: The core material for making "World Potion". Taking it directly has a 50% chance of awakening the talent for the second time, a 30% chance of awakening the second talent, and a 20% chance of failing to awaken.

*Tip: If you use this item to awaken, you will definitely get SSS-level talent.

*Warning: The Pioneer has not yet broken the "Real Barrier". If you perform a second awakening or try to awaken your second talent, there is a 99.83% chance of immediate death and a 0.17% chance of successful awakening.

*Warning: The Pioneer's current talent "Complete Substitution" is already in a fully developed state. If it is forced to undergo a second awakening, there is a 239.8% chance that the Pioneer's life source will collapse.

Rating: 600
Introduction: The fruit of the mature world tree can awaken the power hidden deep in the body.

Price: 100% of World Origin
……

As long as the awakening is successful, one will be able to awaken to SSS-level talent. Just from this point, one can understand how precious the value of the World Tree Fruit is.

And this is just the effect of taking the fruit directly. With the current level of development of alchemy in the star realm, normal people, unless they are crazy or have no other choice, basically will not eat the fruit of the World Tree directly. Instead, they will ask an alchemy master to refine it into a potion before taking it.

It can be said that if we only talk about the awakening effect on talents, the World Tree Fruit of the same quality is even two levels stronger than the Soul Fruit.
After all, a considerable part of the effects of the Soul Fruit are actually used to enhance the strength of the soul, unlike the World Tree Fruit, all of whose effects exist only for awakening talents.

Of course, these have nothing to do with them now. Although he holds five World Tree Fruits in his hands, Xin Lailai obviously cannot gamble on the 0.17% success rate here. The reason why he exchanged this thing is simply because the value is high enough and their reputation value is a bit too much now.

You know, even after exchanging such a large number of things, their current reputation value is still an astonishing amount of nearly six million. It can be said that they have so much reputation that they have no place to spend it.

"After replacing all the equipment, just pick some high-value items to exchange..."

After thinking for a while, Xin Lailai quickly made a decision in his mind. To be honest, after getting a sufficient number of divine bones, those legendary suits had basically no practical meaning to him. After all, from a practical point of view, the possibility of him being chopped to pieces first was actually much greater than depleting the durability of the legendary Transcendent suit.

In the battle with Ji Ren Yuan Ying, he would not have the energy to switch between different suits to trigger the active effects of other suits. This trick is okay against opponents whose reaction speed and technical ability are not as good as his, but if he dares to do this against an enemy like Ji Ren Yuan Ying, it would be tantamount to seeking death.

Therefore, compared to those legendary suits, Xin Lailai was more concerned about the individual pieces of armor in the camp store. He now had a total of 12 legendary divine bones, or in other words, 4 legendary miracles of the gods. This meant that he could choose another suitable light gold or gold equipment to upgrade it to the legendary level and fill the remaining vacancy in the armor slot.

"Hmm? The effect of this equipment..."

Suddenly, when he scrolled down the list to a certain area, Xin Lailai selected all the equipment on the list, and his eyes suddenly stopped at the introduction of one of the equipment:
……

【Shirakami Defense】

Origin: Is it wrong to seek encounters in a dungeon?
Quality: light gold
Durability: 60/60
Defense: 50
Category: protective gear

Equipment requirements: Strength and physical attributes not less than 50 points

Equipment Effect 1, Defense (Passive): When performing blocking actions, you gain the "Defense" effect when defending, and your defense performance is increased by 10 points.

Equipment Effect 2, Divine Protection (Passive): If you are attacked within 0.1 seconds after triggering "Defense", the effect of "Defense" will be doubled in the next 10 seconds. If the "Defense" enhanced effect is triggered again during the duration, the duration will be refreshed and the next time you block, you will gain a 10-point strength correction value.

*Tip: Defense performance is a comprehensive defense strength indicator, including knockback resistance, blocking strength, toughness, etc., which are the attributes that determine defense strength.

*Tip: The normal strength correction value is an additional value of the strength attribute. When the pioneer breaks the real barrier of the strength attribute, it will be converted into the real strength correction value at a ratio of 5:1.

Rating: 300
Introduction: How strong a body must be to withstand a blow that can shatter the earth?

……

This equipment completely focuses on improving the blocking strength, and it is also a high-risk, high-return type...

Xin Lailai looked at Baishen Shouyu's introduction, his eyes moved slightly, and after thinking for a while in his mind, he had made a decision.

——The fourth miracle of the gods will be used for this equipment.

Because of the previous battle, not only were his equipment in tatters, but even the various gems he had purchased when entering the Earth World were mostly gone.

The most typical of these is the shattering of the three vitality gems. After losing these three gems, his health points dropped significantly, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to his survivability. Considering the attack intensity and various means displayed by Ji Ren Yuan Ying, if he wants to defeat the opponent with his current means, he must find a way to improve his own defense capabilities.

Otherwise, once he is suppressed too much in close combat, coupled with Ji Ren Yuan Ying's shield that can counter energy, let alone the chance of winning, it will be a question whether he can hold on until the duration of the limit is lifted.

[Reminder: Exchange successful, paid Orario Faction Reputation*5934399, obtained...]

A few seconds later, a cold reminder sounded, and on the branding interface, a long list of items in the storage space instantly stretched out. Then Xin Lailai took out 12 legendary god bones and 3 epic god bones, and combined them in one go:

[Synthesis successful, the following items have been obtained]

...

Miracle of the Gods (Epic)*1
Miracle of the Gods (Legendary)*4
...

Five pieces of milky white gelatinous substances emitting soft light appeared in Xin Lailai's hands. Seeing this, Xin Lailai took out the [Transcendence Suit +12] and [Ghost Scale Sky Feather +13] that were about to explode, as well as the [White God Guardian] that he had just exchanged for, without any hesitation, and used a piece of [Miracle of the Gods] on each of them.

[Confirmed, upgrade started, estimated completion time...]

The longest one will take 8 hours to finish...

Lines of light blue text flashed before Xin Lailai's eyes. After glancing at Youlin Kongyu, whose upgrade took the longest time, Xin Lailai rubbed his eyes gently and breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, just take a break.

Although less than a day had passed since they set out, because he had started the action directly with Bell after watching the night, he had actually not slept for almost 48 hours.

If it were somewhere else, this amount of time would naturally not be a big deal, but the energy required to stay awake for 48 hours in the shallow area of ​​the abyss is far more than what it can achieve by working for 48 hours in a safe area.

"Uh um... what am I...?"

Suddenly, a somewhat confused voice came from the side, and Bell Crany, who was being covered by Ling Yuzi's healing magic, slowly opened his eyes, held his forehead and sat up from the ground, looking at the surrounding scene in a daze.

"Awake? This is the destination I mentioned. Your injuries have just stabilized. I personally suggest that you lie down and rest."

Xin Lailai glanced at Bell Crane, who was laid flat on the floor by Ling Yuzi and wrapped up like a mummy, smiled, and explained in a calm tone:
"Don't worry, this place is very safe. No abyss creatures will suddenly appear, so you just need to have a good rest. I will call you if there is anything."

This area can be used as a place to stay after the camp store is moved, so its safety is naturally needless to say. This is why Xin Lailai dares to rest here with peace of mind.

"That's it..."

Hearing Xin Lailai's words, Bell Crany breathed a sigh of relief, followed Xin Lailai's advice, lay back on the carpet, staring at the rock wall shrouded in darkness above his head, his eyes slightly drooped, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xin Lailai nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and just sat cross-legged on the spot, meditating. But before he could completely immerse himself in deep meditation, he heard a long murmur from the side:
"Brother Black Sword, do you think... the heaven that the gods and the others talked about really exists?"

The question, as if talking to himself, came from Bell's mouth lying on the ground. Xin Lailai's eyes moved slightly when he heard it, but the expression on his face did not change. He continued to maintain an obvious meditation posture, patiently waiting for Bell Crany's next words.

"Brother Black Sword... do you know? When I was fighting with Miss Ai Si, I felt my heart was touched like never before, as if there was a ball of fire that ignited something in my body."

"That feeling... is very strange and warm. I don't know why it makes one's mind unusually clear. After entering that strange state, I don't know why I remembered some things, some memories of when we first encountered the space storm that Brother Black Sword mentioned."

"It was only then that I remembered that I didn't faint immediately, but saw an incredible scene. Brother Black Sword, do you know what that was? It was Orario."

"Although it was only a short moment, I saw everything at that time. The appearance of this 'world' was just as the God said. This world is really huge, so huge that even the dungeon seems so small in comparison to it."

"I saw the mountains, the ocean, the endless land, the true appearance of the sun, and how the underground city existed in the world. That scene was really unforgettable, but..."

The white-haired boy paused for a moment when he spoke here, and turned his head. Xin Lailai's figure was reflected in his red eyes, and a deep sadness was revealed in his eyes:

“I didn’t find the heaven.”

"I saw the whole picture of the 'world', but I couldn't find the 'heaven' that the gods and their lords talked about. Where is that place where the souls of the gods and their lords go after they die?"

"..."

Bell Crane's voice spread from the quiet wilderness. Xin Lailai heard what he said, but said nothing. He just sat there cross-legged until -

"Brother Black Sword, can I ask you a question?"

"You, and Miss Death Keeper...are not actually from this world, right?"
